Why Are We So Scared? | The American Spectator. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)
When I was a child, in the late ’40s and ’50s, every summer we lived and played in terror of polio. We were really scared of that horrible disease that crippled and killed so many fine people, including FDR. Swimming pools were particular objects of dread.
We didn’t close the schools. We didn’t tell people they couldn’t worship in groups. We didn’t run nonstop 24/7 Death-O-Meters on TV (then brand new). We didn’t even close the swimming pools. We didn’t use the government to terrify people. We didn’t bankrupt the nation to pay for harm done by the disease.
I went to the Reading Terminal Market today. Largely empty. Mostly closed.
Reading Terminal Market has free delivery. Mary & I will be trying Target's Shipt for fresh produce. Keeping it local to Lowell here, ShawFarm.com is delivering milk, eggs, butter, bacon, yogurt, and more to us each Thursday. Plus I ramped up my subscribe and save items at Amazon. More importantly, we got our girl scout cookies online: Think Outside the Cookie Box
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know it has free delivery. I'm just not about to imprison myself. I also like to get in at least 3,000 steps a day walking.
